Yeah, what could our military leaders learn from a bunch of civilians anyway? It's not like they're supposed to be citizen-soldiers with a well-rounded education.

So, I guess it's time for me to bring up that military adherence to constitutional norms/congressional directives is demonstrably a wasting asset (tho impossible to say to what extent) as Trump Regime continues purge of military & civilian "leadership". Military has followed illegal orders so far.

So. UKRI going the way of AI job application filtering. This of course means that we're going to have to stuff the grant application with the equivalent of LinkedIn-like buzz words in order to get past the filter. Urrgh.

'The University of Chicago statistician has authored or co-authored more than 200 papers and as many as 14 books released this year (...) "Clearly AI makes a productive researcher far more productive,” he wrote in an email to The Post.' www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

Using AI, a professor wrote 200 papers this year. Researchers are alarmed.

An online platform removed 257 papers written or co-written by the University of Chicago’s Nicholas Polson after other academics raised questions.

Many European politicians fail to understand that Russian disinfo campaigns have always exploited actually existing social cleavages and grievances. Addressing some of the root causes for those grievances would make society much more resilient against disinfo than top-down driven agencies
